Hello Tony,<br><br>Nothing replaces Ubuntu.<br><br>VM stands for virtual machine. You can install it in Ubuntu and then install a copy of Windows on that virtual machine if you want to run programmes written for Windows. Another virtual machine programme is VirtualBox, there are others I believe. You will still have to pay your dues to Microsoft and also to activate that copy. It just saves dual booting. You can also run other copies of Ubuntu or any other Linux distro.
